Savage Kitty!
I love Himalayans and Siamese cats and had been looking for one on Petfinders, but did not have any luck with local listings. I was at my neighborhood cafe when I saw that there was going to be a big adopt-a-thon sponsored by the SPCA that weekend. We arrived early and saw a few kitties that we thought were cute before stumbling onto Arya's cage. Unlike the other kitties,who were sweetly sleeping, she was savagely attacking a toy in her cage. I noticed, too, that she had Siamese or Himalayan-like features and I fell in love with her. We adopted her and she has been a source of pleasure and pain (literal pain) since then, but she makes for a fun companion. When I tried to find cats that look like her online, I realized that she is most probably a Lynx Point Balinese. She had siblings, too, who also shared similar physical characteristics, though in varying degrees (they all had blue eyes and some of the lynx point markings, but were short haired.) She was just a baby--only ten weeks old when we adopted her--so I wonder how they all ended up at the SPCA?
